Spencer. $75 plus shipping/both ways.

 

Ok, thanks. But would also take too much riding time now when finally spring, that's option in case I would wait till winter.

 

His turn-around is very fast. I was without my seat for about 1 week.

 

Another option : OEM Comfort Seat. Did a 650 mile day with mine. Ass was fine. Forearm was only thing sore from throttle despite having a "cramp buster" plastic thingy.

 

Sore from "throttle..." :hubba:

I've heard great things about Spencer and that price is unbeatable, unlike TL2Bass' meat. I'd do that. What's one week when you're saving that kind of money?

Are you saying my "meat" is "beatable"? Hell... I've known that for years!

 

I have an 03 st3r and men my butt hurts i am a skinny guy so not a lot of natural padding. I bought the fox racing titan shorts to use in long rides, but after like 2 hours i am in so much pain. Like i am taking a beating. I put the suspension in comfort setting, but i still find it too hard. I have to try the oem high comfort seat, but triumph doesn't specify if is just a taller seat or more padding.

I asked offer from local importer of Corbin, don't have it yet. It looks nice and comfy but probably in sportier ride it is not so easy to move from side to side.

Triumph performance saddles have two models, one with std height and one higher. Probably it is the frame which is higher. Have to check that price as well because at the same tie the knee angle would be better. Weight balance of course higher.

Luimoto + race tech together app. 200€ are temptating just worried about installation, will take lots of time to play with blade.. I think I saw a photo of opened Triumph performance saddle and it was a std but only installed some stripes of cushioning material between saddle frame corners (rails) and the std saddle cushioning. That mod to std would be very easy but then the opening is so much work that the luimoto is worthwhile to do.

 

btw what is the price for the spencer, haven't found that?

You want to order the "Long Distance" option. The total mod cost $75, and you pay for shipping both ways. What's nice, is that Spencer actually has a Street Triple, so he knows exactly how and what needs to be done. After he is done working on the seat, you can't visually tell that it was touched, but you can sure feel it. :smile:

I also have a Sargent seat. It is really nice, and if I were to take a 1000 mile ride - I'd put it on. It is just a tad wider than OEM. For spirited rides in the twisty stuff, I prefer the Spencer, as it is a little easier to move around on.

 

Thanks, well at net site they say that no outside US deliveries, so this seem out of question.

 

Corbin's are sometimes comfortable but are always heavy and ill fitting.

 

My Corbin fit perfect and feels loads better than stock does. Here is the best pic I have available.

 

Sargent seem not to have proper model available yet. thx for the feedback for corbin. There's some local shop who claimed to do better mod than any aftermarket saddle, probably it is similar idea than spencer's, well who knows how close. Just ordered tech specs, meanwhile. F... those std tires are slippery here at Helsinki +4 and dusty and wet asphalt.

From old thread I found a funny idea to use motocross or mtb padded pants for longer rides. This I'll go and test since I have those of good quality (Assos). Alpinestars were also of good price available.

 

They do certainly help but on my old Street Triple the sore spots were on the back of my quads and not actually where the pad on the shorts is over the gluts. It's right at the edges of the seat. I found once i got the footpegs higher so my legs weren't on the edge of the seat that the seat became a lot more comfortable. That said I have always wore bicycle shorts for longer motorcycle rides. The chamois is perfect to prevent monkey butt.

 

Corbin price at local dealer 480e with discount.. dollar price too hi now

 

The stock seat is the best I have ever sat on for a sport bike and I don't plan on changing it out. Corbin suck, I'm not sure why everyone seams to think they are the best. They don't break in either, that's the other thing I always hear, just give it time ect.... Sargent really makes the best aftermarket seat out there.

 

I've been contemplating a seat upgrade and finally sat on a Sargent. Super comfy in the parking lot, but does anyone else think it's too wide and sits too far back? I'm only 5'7", so maybe the Sargent just isn't for me.

I don't know about the post-12 bikes, but the Sargent is actually about 1/4" shorter to the ground, but just a tad wider. For interstate droning or basic riding, it can't be beat. I also have a Spencer, that he basically replaces most of the OEM foam with some type of synthetic honeycomb gel, so the actual seat doesn't really change visibly, but you don't get pushed into the tank. I like the Spencer better for more aggressive riding in the twisty stuff.
